Audible signals have been introduced to help indicate which operations the dishwasher is performing.

"Instruction accepted" audible signal

When any of the push buttons are pressed, an audible signal informs you that the machine has accepted the instruction given.

"Programme run" audible signal

An audible signal informs you that the washing programme is starting.

"End of programme" audible signal

An intermittent audible signal informs you that the wash programme has ended.

"Alarm" audible signal

The machine is fitted with a number of alarm systems to help you determine the cause of any problems (see "What to do, if..."). An audible signal informs you that an alarm is activated.

To deactivate these audible signals, press simultaneously "Intensive 70°" and "Normal 65°" push buttons, after about 3 seconds an audible signal informs you that the audible signals have been deactivated.

To reactivate these audible signals, press simultaneously "Intensive 70°" and "Normal 65°" push buttons, after about 3 seconds an audible signal informs you that the audible signals have been reactivated.

Both operations (to deactivate or reactivate the audible signals) must be carried out before starting a washing programme; the setting will remain memorised after switching off the dishwasher.

Before using your dishwasher for the first time

1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation

instructions.

2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance.

3. Set the water softener.

4. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with salt.

5. Fill the rinse-aid dispenser.

Setting the water hardness range

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.

The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German, French degrees and PPM

(parts per Million). The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area.

Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area. The dishwasher is factory set at level 3.

If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted. You may change the factory level setting by means of the wash programme selector

push buttons. each push button corresponds to a different level.

evel 1 = "Rinse and Hold" push button Level 2 = "Intensive 70°" push button Level 3 = "Normal 65°" push button Level 4 = "Bio 50°" push button Level 5 = "Breve 50°" push button

BIO

If your water hardness is level 1 it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt. With the setting of the water softener at level 1 the salt indicator light on the control panel will always remain off.

To set a different level, proceed as follows:

1. Press the "Intensive 70°" and "Bio 50°" programme pus huttons simultaneously

for about 5 seconds. The pilot light corresponding to the current level flashes.

2. Press within 5 seconds the programme push button corresponding to the required level. After 5 seconds the the dishwasher will memorise the new level setting and will return to programme setting mode.

The setting will remain memorised after switching off the dishwasher.

Filling with special salt

Caution! The packaging of dishwasher salt and detergents are often very similar. The

accidental filling of the salt compartment with detergent would ruin the water softener. Each time you add salt, make sure the carton you have in your hand really is salt.

Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers. All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes (not the "Rinse and Hold" programme). This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.

To fill:

1. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt container.

2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary only before filling with salt for the first time).

3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the

salt until the container is full. Do not worry if water overflows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal.

4. Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.

5. Screw on the cap tightly.

When this has been done, all that is required is to periodically top up the container with salt.

You are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the control panel which will illuminate when the salt has finished.

Important: The salt refill indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been replenished, assuring the dishwasher remains on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then this can take longer. The function of the dishwasher is not affected.

The rinse-aid

The rinse-aid ensures brilliant crockery and also helps it to dry. It is automatically dosed in during the hot rinsing cycle. The storage compartment built in to the in side of the door can hold about 110 ml of rinse-aid, which will be sufficient for between 16 and 40 dishwashing programmes, according to the dosage setting.

Filling up the rinse-aid

1. Open the container by turning the lid

(A) anticlockwise.

2. Fill with rinse aid until the container is completely full, exactly up to the level marked

"max

Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.

Top up with rinse aid when the indicator (B) becomes clear.

Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.

Attention! Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid department.

Adjusting the dose

The correct dosage of the rinse-aid should be regulated on the basis of the shine and drying results.

For this purpose, set the quantity of liquid by means of the six-position selector (C) located on the inside of the filler opening (minimum quantity is position 1, maximum quantity is position 6).

Use the tip of a knife or a screwdriver to rotate the selector. If drops of water or white marks remain on the crockery after it has been washed, increase the dosage. If the crockery comes out with whitish, sticky streaks, reduce the dosage.
